Later in 2004, Terry moved to Richmond and began running with the Hoover Crips. The Hoover Criminals (formerly Crips) taught Terry everything about Crips in Los Angeles. When he returned to South Carolina to spread his new found the knowledge the streets turned on him. The Insane Crips began to go to war with other Crips and in a short time went from being one of the largest gangs in the state to being outnumbered 3 to 1. The state of SC would be plagued with gangwars over this for the next 3 years. In 2007, the FBI and State legislatures stepped in and to this day has busted hundreds of gang members because of the federal law introduced called “The Gang Law”. In 2008, Terry left the gang and 6 years later he made a movie about his experiences that range from tales of violence, betrayal, death, and redemption.
